In a move that significantly bolsters its book business, Wma has brought Eric Simonoff on board as senior vp of the agency's book division.
Simonoff -- a literary agent and co-director of Janklow & Nesbit Associates, where he worked since 1991 -- has a roster that includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, 17 New York Times best-selling authors and 14 New Yorker contributors.
Among those that Simonoff is bringing with him are Pulitzer Prize winners Jhumpa Lahiri ("Unaccustomed Earth") and Stacy Schiff ("Cleopatra") and best-selling authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child ("The Monster of Florence"), Bill O'Reilly ("A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity"), Norah Vincent ("Self Made Man"), Ben Mezrich ("21: Bringing Down the House") and James Frey ("Bright Shiny Morning").
The move is quite a catch for Wma, which not only hopes to keep expanding its book department but will explore opportunities for Simonoff's clients across its many divisions.

Norah Vincent's second book sets up a paradox for itself: How can anyone describe what it's really like to live in a mental institution, when the only people admitted are insane? In sheer degree of difficulty, voluntarily checking into psychiatric care is a step up for the woman who, for her first book, Self-Made Man, decided to live as a man for 18 months. But being committed turns out to be a step as false as her male persona. After completing Self-Made Man, Vincent spiraled into depression and checked herself into a hospital—not her first trip, but ...
